Richard Cline - RCI agree that overall there has been inconsistency in the calls, I guess that is the human aspect that is often referred to. I wasn't able to tune in last night until the 4th inning or so and couldn't believe they were playing in those conditions. It is very fortunate for baseball that the Rays tied the game or else they would have either played the game to it's conclusion in terrible conditions or called the game and Phillies win with considerable outroar from fans considering the circumstances.
It just seems that baseball continues to dig itself into a hole. How many future fans stay up to watch these games to their conclusion? I guess that is a completely new topic so I'll stop my rant and jsut remember the days I would sneak a radio into school and listen to the Series before racing home to see it on TV.
